WAsHINGToN, Aug. I2.-Tle report On
the Improvement Of Galveston lar5or
has just been made p:3 .ic ami the facts
SHOWN are OF great interest. Since the
suspension Of work il April >,i, TIE ne
cessi'y for the speedy accomplishment Of
this work has become more a9p4reut, in
fsct has become notorious. The order of
construction IS to first raise liz present

c50ve low water, then build tie north
lefty ont Of the crest OF the bar, then
complete both jetties to their full length.
The estimated cost Of tlJs is ) ,0C0, 000,
and for completing them 10 thirty feet
depth beyond the bar is 81 100000 more
or s. 900 600 in all By 8 Te-suIvey of
the bar AMI harbor in April last
tue channel depth upon the outer
bar Wa5 found to be only twelve snd
three-quarters feet. and upon the inner
bar twenty and Cne-quarter feet The
sum now asked tor to continue the work
Il s. 0C0 900. On this point the eugi-
neer's report says no very extended eX-
PLANTATION of this accommodation is re
quired. a present annual trade Of So
100000 and prospective trade cf greater
proportions is hampered by an cJstruc-
ton which is in the power IF the govern
ment to remove. Tae evil results Of a.
tempting It's removal without adequate
means are notorious. The in
terest st stake requires tia.
The work should now be undertaken
seriously. The amount expended 20 far
on this work, 81 ,4S7 SIS, which is but
little more than covered by the amount
appropriated, Sl,77>, 0Q3 The engineer
says the majority Of vessels trading at
this port draw from fifteen TO twenty
feet Of water when fully losdaj and that
the necessity for immediate action is
therefore apparent.

Correspondence of the Gazette
MoBEETIE, Ten, Aug. 8.-Severel days
ago the Mobeetie correspondent of THE
GAZETTE reported an interview with q
gentleman from Kansas, who stated thst
the st. Louis aud San Francisco Railroad
Was to be pushed forward from Sepulpa,
l. It, to 6 connection with the Atlantic
and Pacific, which would build to a point
in Carson county, Texas, and that work
would begin on the Frisco extension
next spring, That statement, it now trans
pires, was strictly correct with. exception
of the part which postponed the COM
mencement Of work until spring Mr..
Burgess, locating engineer Of the Frisco
road, arrived in Mobee'ie to-day in ad-
vance Of three surveying parties, inClUd
ing over forty men, who will be here
within q week. Two OF the parties will
work eastward from Mob6ete to Reno in
the Indian Territory, 10 which point the
road is already located. The third
will survey lire westward 225 miles
which will take il TO Carson county. Mr..
Burgess made q trip this evening to the
loot Of the plains, six miles distant look
ing for an accessible point on which to
climb this formidable obstacle to railroad
building.
The haste which is being shown in
making these surveys, and the number Of
surveying parties employed, indicate be-
You'd doubt speedy extension Of the
Frisco. This is most important move
for the Panhandle, End will give it three
railroads within six or eight months.
The people of Mobeetie are iubilant ever
the prospect of securing the Frisco, and
property to-day would command % per
cent. more than yesterday.

Gus state, and that the Missouri Pacific
system hoped to aid materially III our de-
yeIopment, and that very soon the ties

Fort Worth and the Missouri Pacific
would be more numerous and the rela-
tons existing mutually profitable. Mr..

The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe
makes Fort Worth its base Of

trains which leave here daily
supply q number of points on

quantity OF the water is used at Cleburne
in the round house there and furnishes
the supply for the locomotives at work on
the Weatherford extension. The water
is slso used on the line from
Cleburne to Dallas, something over
fifty m les. A number of locomo-
tiyes at different times have been
run up from Cleburne to have their boil
ers washed out in Fort Worth. To do
this work it is necessary to send an en-
gineer, q fireman and 8 man to do the
work of cleaning. Fort Worth wster has
been found to be unexcelled for railroad
purposes, and the great Santa Fe
vii have the best of every

The Santa Fe and the Texas and Pacific
